NSO Leader Applications
Hello Potential NSO 2021 Student Leaders,
If you’re reading this, you must be interested in applying for a position with New Student Orientation. We have two position types for which you can apply and we’re excited about your interest.
We are looking for enthusiastic, creative, caring individuals who have the ability to contribute positively to a team, maintain a sense of humor and have a genuine desire to help new students and their family members make the transition to Lewis & Clark College. We are asking our NSO Leaders to report to campus on Friday, August 20, 2021. Training for all NSO Leaders will commence on Saturday, August 21. You will need to be prepared to continue working through the duration of New Student Orientation, August 25-August 29, 2021. NSO will allow you to move into the residence halls early and will provide you with full meals everyday until meal swipes begin.
Group Leaders will work closely with a group of about 10-15 new students, leading them in activities designed to facilitate getting to know one another and understanding how things work around campus including academic advising and course registration, etc. Group Leaders will serve as role models and guides as the new students begin their college career. There is an expectation that you maintain a minimal level of contact with the members of your group beginning in July continuing through the first few weeks of the fall semester.
Management Team Leaders will work more behind-the-scenes in order to prepare all the details of NSO. These student leaders should be organized and enthusiastic about working as a team to put together the logistical aspects of NSO, specifically those that happen before the new students even arrive. When Orientation begins, the Management Team will act as the support structure for orientation events, attending to all needs that may arise and serve as friendly, helpful faces for parents and new students.
